Topic: Changing Oil of a UCE RE on youtube (Read 1449 times)

@Bradey - Good tip ! I do coat the new filter with oil when I change oil. But I had no picture of that step, so it slipped my memory. I will put a comment on the youtube.

@Ray - Sometimes I tilt the bike from side to side but not always. I left it out because in my opinion it is not a necessary step but is optional. My main concern was that if a viewer tilts the bike and it accidently falls, the viewer may blame the video . I wanted to avoid that situation.

@Twin - I did buy the 'new-improved' cap, but it is hard to describe why I like to keep pushing on the spring, holding the washer/brass plate on filter, and all the excitement and sense of fulfilment when all parts fall in place . Working with the original has its own mazaa. This is an Hindi (Panjabi) word that is hard to fully describe. But I think you get it !

@Simon - The oil is pale yellowish and may be some refraction of light looks greenish.

The video is not an Offical RE How To Do Video. It is how I do something. It is not all inclusive. Hopefully some people will find it useful and for others it may create an interest in RE.

I want to produce some more videos describing service / manintenace procedures done on my motorcycle. I hope other RE owners also do the same with other themes and show how they maintain or repair their bikes, so that we can keep our bikes running and thumping .

Just wipe the drain plugs/magnets off with a clean rag, note if there are any really large metal bits. The screen can be wiped and sprayed out with carb cleaner, brake cleaner, or WD-40. If you don't have any of those just wash it with water and dish soap. No matter how you wash it, dry thoroughly and re-install.
